Aid Your Winching With a Heavy Duty Snatch Block

Jodie products

When using a winch, sometimes more pulling power is needed to complete the mission at hand. This can be either because the winch is not strong enough or fast enough; in either case, this is where you need the help of a heavy duty snatch block. Heavy duty snatch blocks are designed to improve the capacities of winches and are used for either re-directing loads or as a hoisting system.

Winching is typically needed to recover vehicles from ditches, moving items from your path (such as a tree) and hoisting heavy items. Snatch blocks ensure the rope used to pull the item stays secure and can also be used to change the direction of the load. They also increase the amount of cable that can be run off the drum, meaning that a heavier load can be pulled easily. They are simple to use and un-clip open, allowing users to place the winch cable directly into the snatch block.

SafetyLiftinGear.com Sponsor Fundraising Efforts

mike general news

We at SafetyLiftinGear.com are always happy to get behind a good cause, and we often sponsor people who are doing amazing things to raise money for charity.

Here are two very impressive fundraising efforts that we are currently sponsoring:

Running a Marathon for the White Lodge Centre

This coming weekend, Stephanie Doolan will be pulling on her trainers and running a full 26.2 mile marathon to raise money for the White Lodge Centre, a charity that provides support for disabled people and their families and carers.

The White Lodge Centre is a cause that's very close to Stephanie's heart. Her daughter Emily was born with a rare chromosome duplication condition; she also has autism, early onset arthritis, and dual hip dysplasia. Emily couldn't walk until she was 5 years old and had undergone multiple hip/leg operations.

Throughout Emily's life to date, the White Lodge Centre has been a crucial source of support, equipment and advice for Stephanie and her family. "The White Lodge Centre have quite literally given Emily her legs back," says Stephanie on her JustGiving page. "The support and encouragement they have dedicated to Emily has been inspiring and I can't put into words how grateful we are."

Stephanie has already completed several fundraising runs for the White Lodge Centre, including a 5k, a 10k, and a half marathon. However, this will be her first full marathon, so we hope you'll join us in donating to her fund and showing your support! Donate here >

20Twenty Challenge

We've supported Shaun Gash - a man who, in spite of being paralysed from the waist down, never shies away from a demanding physical challenge - in a number of fundraising efforts in the past, and we were more than happy to lend a hand when with his latest project: the 20Twenty Challenge.

This August, Shaun and his friend Gavin will be attempting to travel from Land's End to John o'Groats in less than 20 days. Instead of making this journey on bicycles (as many other fundraisers do), Shaun and Gavin will be travelling in self-propelled wheelchairs...and they are hoping to set a new Guinness World Record in the process!

We at SafetyLiftinGear are proud to have supplied Shaun and Gavin with protective helmets and a few other pieces of safety gear - we hope our products will serve them well as they make their way from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands. This is a 'mass participation' event, and the two men are hoping that they will be able to make a big difference to lives up and down the country. Find out how you can get involved here.
